et.nu
et.nu are Lea Maria Fries (vocals and synths) and Julien Herné (bass and production). She is one of the most progressive vocalists to come out of the Swiss Jazz scene in recent years; he, on the other hand, is one of the most sought after bass players in France! Their forthcoming self-titled debut record is a document of their life/love story, written for bass and vocals (mainly).There are, of course, other sounds on the record – coffee machines, jewellery, kitchen utensils, a vacuum cleaner, etc. – and Billy Martin also drops in to play drums on one track, but, really, this music is all about them. According to Lea, “et.nu is an adult love story. It’s about life as this perpetual construction site. We decided to dig go as deep as we possibly could – just to see what would happen – and this record is the result.” This body of work covers a wild spectrum of genres– Indie, Electronica, Post-Punk, Avant-pop and Jazz – and does it with the ease and dexterity of a seasoned musician going in on a solo. The production is thick, the sound almost three dimensional, tactile! – entirely produced and mixed in-house by Julien.
